I wonder who's the main villain in this show? In fact, we've never seen him once in a while.

We're probably not going to directly see the real antagonists unless there is a second season judging from the anime's current progression through the Light Novel. We might get a parting shot at the end of the final episode to set things up or a casual mention though, as their existence is going to become increasingly apparent by then (Assuming the anime doesn't pull an original ending).

Outside of that particular bit in the manga that portrays the US's attitude towards Japan remarkably badly (Which I do not believe is portrayed quite that way in the LN), the US doesn't seem to be inherently evil in the IS universe... albeit they seem to have a tendency to make overly powerful IS that either go berserk or are the target of terrorism, but that isn't "exactly" their fault.

Reason: Light novel spoilers of future events not allowed in an episode thread (read the first post).

yep, 1 cour/12 eps.
but since it's undergoing an ever-increasing popularity (last but not least the Madoka-crossovers ) a second season seems likely.
but we'll have to wait for last episode and see how they're going to end it, in order to ascertain that.
